Brewer, 50, entered the store on Broadway about 1 p.m. Thursday, and asked two employees for socks and slippers. The employees gave Brewer the socks he was looking for, Rice said, and told him they didn’t have the slippers.

Rice said Brewer then moved closer to the employees and told them he was God.

“He said ‘When God speaks to you you’re supposed to give him everything,'” Rice said.

The employees realized Brewer was attempting to rob the business, Rice said, and Brewer also told the employees since he is God and visiting them, they would die soon.

I can see the new Payless ads now:
Voiceover: “And God said… you must go to Payless!”
Hallelujah corus, bright lights. Camera pans up from a pair of scuffy Nike’s to the crazy God-person wearing them. He gives the camera a thumbs up.
God-boy: “Ah gets my free shiz from Payless!”
